People on this newsgroup don't know what's going on in this rock

Sadly the second iteration, which was lame.
No Kam Fong - no watch.

That guy had a pretty tragic life. His first family was killed with a
plane crashed into his house. To me, he's a sad figure.
I admired his grit, but I didn't want to led with that narrative.
I used to have a 4 door Mercury Parklane Brougham which was a car
often driven on the show. I can't believe that I had such a beast -
what was I thinking when I bought it? OTOH, it was pleasant enough to
drive. I wasn't a big fan of the show and was unaware of the car's
fame when I owned it. My car had lights on the front fenders that lit
up when turning corners at night. It sounds like a good feature but I
never noticed it because I'm not looking at the side of the car when
turning.

Tires squealing on every corner, porpoise brakes, hubcaps detaching and scattering like mice...it had to be a trip man...
Cornering lights have been replaced with headlights that track with the steering, still at the time they were like giant marker lights telling
everyone else what you were up to.
Of course Tucker had moving headlights first.
